The solution is found in the fact that while

being a legal tender, was worth its face value,
without any discouut or depreciation, in the

prices. A vast
amount of such debtJglknowo to have been
discharged in this way. In
1864, when the foreigiJg|rice of wheat went down to about four shil¬
lings and ninepence per nl|^el, covering freight, insurance, commissions,
and all intermediate charges and profits, which still further reduced the
gold price to the producers, they could still afford to send to England
twenty thousand bushels, the premium upon gold, due to the deprecia¬
tion of our currency, ranging from 51 to 185
percent, and all that pre¬
mium going dollar for dollar, to the extent so
applied, in the discharge
of old debts. Roughly averaged, the
varying premiums of the year
were equal to 104
per cent, which quite doubled the farmer’s share of
the four and ninepence per bushel
paid for his wheat in England, when
converted into currency at home.
But the agriculturists, owning the farms which
they cultivated, and
the stock and machinery which
they used, had another advantage in the
premium, whether they hal debts to pay or not. They held their
lands, buildings, stock, and implements of husbandry at the gold price
of the previous period, and had no
expenses of husbandry to meet in
the high currency prices of the time,
except wages, improvements, re¬
pairs, and taxes. These are but a small portion of their investment,
and upon all the rest of it its proportion of the premium was clear
gain, but in currency, whose purchasing power was measured by the
ruling prices, unless invested in government bonds bearing gold interest.
Farmers breeding their own stock had a similar profit on
the premium
to those who owned the lands which
they cultivated. The same rea¬
soning applies also to miners, in the proportion that their mines and
machinery bear to their total outlay. But to manufacturers their profit
of the
premium upon foreign sales would only accrue in the proportion
of their real estate and
machinery bought at the gold prices of the pre¬
ceding period; all other elements of production to them cost currency

Notwithstanding these heavy drains upon the Treasury, its affairs
have moved on smoothly and in perfect order. Every just claim upon
it has been promptly met; and it retains an ample sum in hand for all
demands likely to arise before the taxes for the curreut fiscal year shall
have been received.
Earnest appeals were made in all my former reports in favor of con¬
fining appropriations till the war should be over to objects strictly legiti¬
mate and necessary, and in favor of paying debts instead of creating
them. If those appeals had been heeded, thefinancial condition of the
State would now have been one of entire ease snd independence. But
were not regarded ; and after the people have been required to
vast amounts which might and should have been saved to them,
they find themselves at the close of the war suddenly loaded with a
new and immense debt, under which
they will be compelled to struggle
for twelve years to come. They will surely have a right, and it is to
be hoped that they will enforce the demand, that other public expenses

At the above date there was due for taxes, mostly from the City of

have been, before the 30th of September, would have made the balauce
in the Traasury $2,758,006.82, and instead of a deficiency in the gene¬
ral fund there would have been a surplus of $1,488,042.98, As the
taxes which were in arrear are now in course of payment, and will all
be received in a short time, the latter figures show more correctly what
was the real financial condition of the State at
the close of the fiscal
year. The failnre to pay
arises from the fact that
the taxes due from the City of New York
they are not collected until the fall, being
nearly a year later than in the other counties. The same delay occurs
nearly every year and causes always an apparent deficiency where
there should be a surplus.

OF THE CANAL FVND.
following remarks in relation to the di¬
minishing receipts and enormous expenditures of the Canals.
The receipts and expenditures upon the canals should attract the
attention of tax payers, while the receipts are rapidly diminishing, the
expenses are more rapidly increasing. In 1863, the receipts were
$5,118,501.35, and the payments for collection and ordinary repairs
$770,882.52. In 1865, the receipts were $3,577,465.45, and the pay¬
ments for collection and ordinary repairs, $1,927,373.59.
In 1863 the
surplus to meet the requirements of the constitution was $4,347,618.88,
leaving a remainder of $981,376.17. In>1865, the amount was but
$1,650,091.86, leaving a deficiency of $1,716,150.80 to be provided for
by taxation. In 1863 the per centage which the cost of maintenance
of the canals bore to the amount of tolls was but 15.33 ; in 1865, it
rose to the enormous rate of 54.73—being far greater than it ever was
before in any year since the canals went into full operation. And this
statement does not include the heavy payments for * extraordinary re¬
pairs/ which would make it much higher. The payments of $850,000
to the General Fund Debt Sinking Fund, and of $200,000 for the sup¬
port of Government, of course, cannot be made.

made. New works were undertaken, vast sums
appropriated for extraordinary repairs. Nothing was saved from
the 1 rge remainders to provide for future deficiences. The result of
this policy is before us. The people are now paying over two millions
dollars in direct taxes for canals in the present year, with a prospect of
being called upon for as much more in the next year. It is forty years
since the Erie Canal was completed ; and the Canal Debt, after all the
payments recently made upon it, is almost three times as large as the
original cost of that canal, with no reasonable prospect that it will ever
be paid except by direct taxation.
These facts and figures are instructive, and are worthy of the atten¬

If this vast amount is to be wholly
exempt whilst the poorer holders of other property are compelled to
pay the heavy debt which the State has iucurred to carry on the war,
the question will be very likely to be made an
open oue, and to be re¬
argued and resettled. But if the General Government will assume
these obligations incurred for its own benefit, it will relieve the States
and probably save the discussions which will otherwise ensue.
The objection that the addition of so large an amount to the National
Debt might affect the market would be obviated
by issuing a special
stock to the States, to be held by them, and not to be transferred until
after a certain number of years. The interest could be used
by the
States to pay the interest upon their own war
debts, and thus relieve
them without embarrassing the General Government.

Foreign Exchange.—The demand for
sterling exchange
continues quite moderate, the importers
having mostly
completed their payments on account of fall importations
and not having yet commenced to remit on account of the
spring imports. The supply of bills consists largely of
New Orleans paper, the amount of produce bills
being less
than usual for this month.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Friday, ?. M., Dec. 27, 1865.
Dry Goods market has been moderately active during the
week, notwithstanding this is the holiday season, and near the open¬
ing of a new year. The numerous changes contemplated, and the
desire to begin square wTith the first of the month, naturally tended
to postpone operations for the time, and a much lighter business
was expected than has been done.
Jobbers are quietly picking up
leading goods in anticipation of a liberal demand early in the month,

Tuesday has ruled quiet, with prices
nominally unchanged. At to day’s market there was a small attend¬
ance, and business in both Wheat and Flour extremely limited at Tues¬
day’s currency, but where sales were pressed lower rates had to be
taken. Oats ruled steady, but Oatmeal declined 6d per load, with the
demand very restricted. Beans, Pea9, and Barley brought full rates.
Indian Corn was more enquired for, and late quotations were fully sup¬
ported. On the 16th the market was dull and heavy.

The increase of the Atlantic &
Great Western and of the Tole¬
do, Wabash <fc Western, the first and last on
the above list, is due
in a great measure from
increased mileage, the former
being 507

being just double. On this basis, the Atlantic & Great

Petroleum in England.—It may seem strange; says an English
journal, to state that the soil of England abounds with oil in many parts,
and the discoveries of modern science are turning it to profitable account, Geologists know that greasy shale exists in many parts of the
country, and to an immense depth, from this clay shale oil can be abstracted by distillation at a considerable profit. We have often seen
water that has exuded from shale rock covered with an oily film. After
it has stagnated a short time the film has been oiL Since the discovery
of oil spriugs in America, enterprise in England has
improved upon the
discovery, and turned the hitherto barren shales to profitable account In
Ireland, iu Scotland, and in Wales, oil works for the abstraction of pe¬
troleum from shale, bog, and coal are being erected, and it is probable
that Englaud will soon be independent of foreigu supply. It has long
been known that the Irish peat from bogs contained a substance from
which caudles could be made. Distillation has produced petroleum. In
the shale above and about the iron ore3 there is abundance of oil. In
the cannel coal of Flintshire, and in the shale of the coal mines oil has
been found, and there is no doubt that other beds of cannel coal, in va¬
rious part9 of the country, will be found richly productive of oil.
